This is a B&D SULTANA III SILVER BELL Tenor Banjo. It has 19 frets and some of the Gold plating has worn off from usage. In the next to the last photo you will see that the celluloid is starting to come unglued from the front and back of the headstock, and in the last photo you will see that one of the fine tuning screws is missing. The pedal arm is also missing from the side. Both of those items can easily be replaced. The skin is 11" in diameter. I am no banjo expert, but it doesn't look like anything else is wrong. Please ask questions.
